Cari and I are joined by Allan Marston to dig into all things AI - the good, the questionable and the myths. Curious to know more about this artificial intelligence that’s apparently taking over the world?
Allan Marston joins Cari and Deena to discuss why people need to move from fearing AI to fully embracing it. He breaks down his own journey into becoming an AI enthusiast, talks about how to get started, and shares practical ways anyone, from retirees to teens, can use AI to create income, enhance creativity, and stay competitive. Allan emphasizes that ChatGPT alone is not enough and introduces a number of powerful tools to help individuals and businesses thrive with AI.
He also shares his 4-step plan for levelling up in AI:
1. Subscribe to AI newsletters
2. Watch/listen to AI videos and podcasts daily
